I did learn BASIC, then assembler, then machine language directly on
65C02 processor. Then we got LOGO and I learned it and it was
interesting. Years later I came to LISP and I find it is almost same
as LOGO, that is where I found familiarity.
As we were not exposed to free software and only to proprietary
software I did not have opportunity to access or learn other
languages. All the marketing was about proprietary software. Many
years I lost without liberties.
